BT Group plc announced that its chairman Jan du Plessis, announced his retirement, suggesting the time was right for him to step down and focus on other interests. Now, almost six months later, a successor has finally been found in the chairman of online fashion giant Asos, Adam Crozier, who is expected to resign from his current post and make the jump to the telecoms industry. According to sources, Crozier was selected from three potential candidates. Crozier, who was also a former ITV and Football Association chief executive, joins the business at an exciting time, with BT currently undertaking a £15 billion upgrade of its broadband network to full fibre. The role of chairperson itself, however, has been tumultuous in the last few years.
